If they were solid brass rather than brass effect, I'd say there'd be a
very real risk of shearing pozidriv ones. Besides, a brass screw is
obviously designed to be seen in this context, so should only be slotted.
I won't use pozidriv where they're likely to be seen.


Solid brass.

I broke 2 off out of the first 4 (one of those rare times when my Dremel
is invaluable) before I gave up and went down the shed to find some slotted
brass screws.

As for the look of the screws - I can't say I am particulary bothered by
what head is on them as long as they match!

Pfft. Countersink, generic pozi's. Wood filler then cover in magnolia.

Tosh. The alternative if brass screws aren't suitable is to cover the
nasty screws with wood plugs carefully cut from as close to the original
grain as possible.
